It’s a pet overall that my mom has fashioned out of a pair of old granny pants. My mom even made a hole for the tail…it is freakin’ brilliant!

This is Charlie looking absolutely miffed because I tied his patch of hair up.

# – Dude needs a groomin’.

FTS, while writing this post I forgot he had a grooming appointment at 3pm today. Completely forgot about it T_T.

Looks like a couple more weeks before we’ve got time to make you look more presentable, boy.

This qipao is 31 years old. My mom wore this on her wedding day and soon, I will be wearing it on mine too :)

My mom was a really tiny girl and according to her, the dress was loose on her.

I’m just glad I could fit in it now because I remember trying it when I was 15 and it wouldn’t even zip up pass my hips!!!

My mom has a good strategy, that I wear this while saying goodbye to guests on my reception cause I won’t be sitting down. Cause if I sat down, my belly layers will jut out. Well, thanks for the advice Mom!

Yeah they are ridiculously cheap! The same amount of beef would have cost me more than double minimum, depending on its source. So cheap I just had to try buffalo out, who knows I might just discover a cheaper and tastier alternative to beef?

So, I did with the buffalo mince what I would have done with ordinary beef mince – meatballs!

# – Buffalo meatball pasta.

For the meatballs:

350 grams of buffalo mince

100 grams of bread crumbs

1 chili, finely dice

1/2 a large onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon of oil

2 tablepspoons of mustard powder

1 1/2 tablespoon of salt

Pepper to taste

For the sauce:

1 can of plum tomatoes

1/2 can of water

1/2 a large onion, sliced

1 tablespoon of fennel powder

1 tablespoon of rosemary powder

2 tablespoons of honey

2 tablespoons of sugar

145 grams of pasta, cooked as per instructions on packet

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional:

1 tablespoon of corn flour

2 tablespoons of water

# – First, throw in all the ingredients to make the meatballs into a mixing bowl.

# – With your hands, knead till ingredients are fully combined.

# – Like this.

# – Shape them into the size of golf balls. This recipe should yield around 12 meatballs.

# – Pan fry them in a pan until crispy all over. There’s no need to worry about whether they will cook through. Set aside.

# – It is not time to make the sauce. In the same pan, throw in the sliced onions and saute until translucent.
